Oilseeds Flaking Machine

Oilseeds Flaking Machine Introduction

An oilseed flaking machine is vital pretreatment equipment in an oil mill plant. It can turn granular oil materials into flakes by rolling the pressure of the rollers. The flaking process can help oil extraction more smoothly from oil materials.

Oil Material Flaking Machine Functions

1. Flaking can destroy the cellular structure of oilseed, and create favorable conditions for the cooking process. In the cooking process, Oil seed flakes are easier to absorb water and heat, which benefits the thermal damage and protein denaturation of oil-seed cells, so that oil can be successfully separated in the pressing or solvent extraction process;
2. Greatly increase contact surface area of oil materials, and more oil can be extracted, so increase the oil yield.

Applications of Flaking Machine

It is applicable to press kinds of oil-bearing material, such as peanut, rapeseed, sunflower seed, castor bean, maize germ, tea seed, oil palm seed, rice bran, sesame, shea nuts, tung nut, copra, hemp seed, flaxseed, olive, walnut, perilla seed, oil melon, tallow seed, castor seed, corn germ, safflower seed, almond, pepper seed, etc. into flakes in pretreatment workshop.

Principle of Oil-seeds Flaking Mill

The oilseeds flaking mill makes use of rolling pressure generated by two rollers to press oil seed from granularity into flake. Because of the little gap between the rollers of the flaking machine, oil materials need preprocessing before they feed into the flaking machine. For example, large-size oil materials like peanuts and soybean should be ground by crushing machine, while materials with low-oil content, low water content, and hard tissue like rape seeds and cotton seeds need softening first.

Main Technical Data of Oil Material Flaking Machine

Quality Flakes Can be Produced by Our Oil Material Flaker Machine

The produced flakes are thin, uniform, with less powder, with a certain degree of mechanical strength, and no oil spill. The 1mm sieve-through powder content is not more than 10% ~ 15 %. Flakes thickness of different oilseeds are as follows:

The flaking machine is generally used in the oilseeds pretreatment workshop to change the physical form of oilseeds, so as to meet the requirements of oil solvent extraction production for oilseeds.
The flaking process has different requirements for different oil materials, our engineers can offer the most suitable oilseed processing technology and provide the best flaking machine, according to your oil seed properties and oil yield.
